Question

Difficulty: EasyCloud Models (Public, Private, Hybrid, Multi-cloud)

An organization deploys its application workloads across both Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to prevent dependency on a single cloud vendor. The organization does not own or maintain any on-premises infrastructure.

Which cloud model describes this deployment?

  1. A
    Hybrid cloud
  2. B
    Private cloud
  3. Multi-cloudAnswer
  4. D
    Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Answer

Multi-cloud
The correct answer is the option indicating a multi-cloud model. A multi-cloud model is defined by the use of multiple public cloud providers (such as Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform) to host workloads, often to avoid vendor lock-in or leverage specific features of different providers, without combining them with on-premises infrastructure.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the infrastructure components mentioned in the scenario.
The organization uses two public cloud providers (Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform) and has no on-premises infrastructure.
Understanding the components helps determine if the model involves private, public, or mixed environments.
2
Map the identified components to the correct cloud model definition.
Using multiple public cloud providers without on-premises infrastructure is defined as a multi-cloud model.
This directly answers the question by distinguishing between hybrid cloud (public + private/on-premises) and multi-cloud (multiple public clouds).
